Definitions

  • the invention concerns a photovoltaic insulating glazing comprising a multi-layer glazing with a photovoltaic module, wherein contact strips contact the photovoltaic module and are led out from the photovoltaic module, and with a spacer, formed e.g. as a shaped bar, which spaces apart glass layers to form an intermediate space.
  • Photovoltaic modules are integrated into insulating glazing via a glass layer e.g. of a double glass structure, into or onto which the solar cells are embedded or disposed.
  • the module generally constitutes one layer of the insulating glazing.
  • the other layer is formed by a glass pane.
  • An intermediate space is provided between the sheet of glass and the photovoltaic module which can be filled with gas to effect an insulating glazing.
  • the invention also concerns other types of photovoltaic modules.
  • photovoltaic insulating glazing requires an electric connection between the photovoltaic module of the insulating glazing and the outer side of the insulating glazing.
  • processing of photovoltaic modules whose electric connections, the so-called “contact strips”, exit the photovoltaic module through bores on the rear-side of the module cover causes problems, since this contact strip passes through the space between panes of the insulating glazing.
  • the contact strips consist is a thin metal strip.
  • a cable bushing is provided, wherein the connecting cables are soldered or crimped to the contact strips in the space between the panes of the insulating glazing and are then guided out of the pane region via bores in an insulating glazing spacer.
  • a photovoltaic insulating glazing having at least one opening in the spacer in which the contact strips and external connecting elements are fixed via a bolt which is inserted into the at least one opening, wherein the contact strips cooperate with electric connecting elements, in particular, an external connection cable, which are disposed outside of the glass layers.
  • the spacer may comprise, in particular, individual elements and connecting elements, wherein the individual elements are connected via the connecting elements, and the openings may be bores in the connecting elements.
  • the connecting elements may be conventional linear or corner connections for insulating glazing spacers with bores to avoid additional production expense.
  • the spacer itself may have one or more bores.
  • the bore may also simultaneously serve as a gas filling opening for the insulating glazing.
  • the bore may have a thread for screwing in the bolt.
  • the bolt can also optionally be pressed into the bore.
  • the contact strip may extend through the bore and be clamped via the bore thread.
  • the contact strip is guided out of the bore on the other side where it is in direct contact with the electric connecting element.
  • the electric connecting element may be e.g. a connecting cable with a cable lug, wherein the contact strip is directly connected to the cable lug.
  • the bolt may e.g. have a nut or a bolt head by means of which the cable lug is clamped between the wall of the connecting element and/or the spacer and the bolt head, and is thereby held in a force-locking fashion to fix the external connecting element.
  • the contact strip and the module connection itself are then tension-relieved and the opening in the spacer and/or connecting element is/are simultaneously closed to keep the gas, which is filled into the insulating glazing, confined within the space between the panes.
  • the contact strip may also be connected to a cable lug and the cable lug is fixed below a corresponding bolt head such that the cable lug is clamped between the bolt head and the surface of the spacer and/or the connecting element, and electrically cooperates with the bolt, wherein the bolt projects to the outside through the bore and the electric connecting element is fixed to the bolt in a force-locking fashion using a nut (described above) and is also electrically connected to the bolt.
  • the contact strip cooperates only indirectly with the electric connecting element, e.g. with an external cable.
  • the bolts may be made from electrically conducting or non-conducting material of different embodiments, such as e.g. blind rivets, expansion bushings or the like.
  • an elastic sealing nipple may be provided in the bore to seal the space between the glass panes from the outer side of the glass layers. In this fashion, gas and vapor tightness is ensured to an even greater degree.
  • the connecting elements may be made from plastic material.
  • the spacers which are formed e.g. of hollow aluminum members, are pushed onto and clamped on the connecting elements.
  • press fitting may be provided.
  • the electric connecting element may be a cable lug with fitted connecting cable.
  • non-conducting washers can be used to prevent electric contact between the bolt and the spacers, thereby preventing short-circuits.
  • the contact strip can be guided out of the photovoltaic module through a bore in the rear module cover as well as laterally from the module layers.
  • the spacer can be disposed either between the inner module cover and the glass pane or between the outer module cover and the glass pane.
  • the inner module cover must be shorter than the outer.
  • the contact strip is fixed as described above.
  • the contact strip does not exit into the space between the panes, but completely outside of the insulating glazing. In this case, it is also fixed “from the outside” like those of the external connecting element, either through fixing via a cable lug or clamping between bore wall and bolt.
  • the bore in the spacer and/or connecting element does not penetrate through to the space between the panes, but only the outer side has an opening. The sealing of the space between the panes is thereby not impaired. In the finished pane, the contact strip is then finally also enclosed by the insulation.
  • the electric connection is no longer visible in the finished window or when the window is installed, since bores projecting into the space between the panes can be omitted.
  • a block e.g. of plastic material can be provided at the cable outlet which has approximately the width of the insulating glass, i.e. a width corresponding approximately to the width of the glass panes enclosing the space between the panes, and the space between the panes itself.
  • This block can be glued onto the non-hardened insulating glazing sealing material.
  • the block may be a conventional glazing block of a thickness of preferably 0.5 to 8 mm which may also serve as glazing block in addition to its function of protecting the cable outlet.
  • Such a block can also prevent crushing of the connecting cables between substructure and glass during installation.
  • a block of this type may comprise grooved recesses along the glass edge to receive the cable, which offer the additional advantage of increased sealing material coverage in the region of the electric connection.
  • the side of the block facing the glass may have projections in the form of e.g. barbs which press into the sealing material when the block is glued and which provide additional positive locking between block and sealing material after the sealing material has hardened.
  • the bores may be stepped bores.
  • FIG. 1 shows an inventive photovoltaic insulating glazing
  • FIG. 2 shows assembly of the electric connection in accordance with a first embodiment
  • FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of an electric connection
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a PV insulating glazing.
  • FIG. 1 shows an insulating glazing which consists of two external glass panes 12 and 14 .
  • the pane 14 forms the outer cover of a photovoltaic module 16 .
  • the pane 15 forms the inner cover. Solar cells are disposed between the panes 14 , 15 .
  • the photovoltaic module 16 has a contact strip 18 to provide an electric connection.
  • the contact strip 18 is thereby guided in the space 20 between the panes through a bore in the inner cover 15 .
  • a conventional spacer 22 is provided to define a space 20 between the pane 15 and glass pane 12 , which has an insulating function and by means of which the electric connection can be guided through the space 20 between the panes to the outside where it can contact an electric connecting element 26 , in most cases an external cable.
  • the space 20 between the panes is filled with gas, as is typical for insulating glazing.
  • the electric connection must therefore be gas and vapor-tight.
  • the spacers 22 comprise of hollow aluminium, shaped elements which are held via connecting elements 28 of plastic material (shown in FIG. 2 ) by pushing a hollow aluminium element onto both sides of a connecting element 28 , where it is frictionally held.
  • the connecting elements 28 thereby have a bore 30 .
  • the connecting element 28 may have a stepped bore 30 , which is shown in FIG. 2 a ).
  • FIG. 2 a shows a section of the corresponding connecting element 28 and its lower side.
  • the hollow spacer elements 22 are pushed onto the connecting element 28 in the direction of arrow 32 .
  • FIG. 2 b shows insertion of a special sealing nipple 34 of elastic material with integrated threaded nut 36 into the stepped bore 30 .
  • a threaded bolt 38 (shown in FIG. 2 c ) screws, with the integrated nut 36 , the sealing nipple 34 to the shaft of the threaded bolt 38 and to the connecting element 28 in a gas-tight fashion.
  • a conventional cable lug 40 is fixed to the threaded bolt 38 and provides electric contact to a contact strip 18 of the photovoltaic module 16 .
  • Such a connecting element 28 is installed in the insulating glazing spacer 22 using one connecting element 28 per contact strip 18 .
  • the additional production step merely involves provision of the clamping connection between contact strip and cable lug.
  • the contact points are initially left open or provided with a suitable cover.
  • the external connecting cable (electric connecting element 42 ) is also provided with a cable lug 44 , and is fixed to the threaded bolt 36 using a threaded nut 46 to ensure gas-tight electric connection between the contact strips 18 and the electric connecting element 42 via the bolt 38 .
  • connection After mounting of the external connecting cable, the connection is sealed with sealing material and thereby also electrically insulated.
  • Electrically non-conducting washers are moreover used below the cable lugs 44 , 40 to prevent electric contact between bolt 38 and spacers 22 when the spacers 22 , which may consist of a metallic material, are assembled with the connecting elements 28 , to avoid possible short-circuits.
  • FIG. 3 shows three illustrations a) through c) of an alternative embodiment of the electric contact wherein the same parts have the same reference numerals.
  • the connecting element 28 has a bore 30 through which the contact strip 18 is guided.
  • a blind rivet 48 serves as bolt, wherein a cable lug 44 is pushed under its head 50 .
  • the cable lug 44 is again connected to the electric connecting element 42 .
  • the blind rivet 48 is inserted into the bore 30 from the outside and mounted there (shown in FIGS. 3 b and 3 c ).
  • the cable lug 44 which surrounds the blind rivet 48 , is fixed under the head 50 of the blind rivet 48 and at the same time, the contact strip 18 is clamped between the wall of the bore 30 and the rivet 48 . Transmission of tensile forces no longer acts on the contact strip 18 .
  • the contact strip 18 is directly contacted with the electric connection 42 and, as clearly shown in FIG. 3 c ), the bore is closed. The electric conductivity of the bolt or blind rivet is thereby not important.
  • this solution has the advantage that mounting of the rivet 48 is possible after assembly of the insulating glazing.
  • the bores 30 may at the same time serve as gas filling opening of the insulating glazing.
  • two bores may be provided in the structure of FIG. 1 , wherein the contact strip 18 is led out of the space 20 between the panes via a first bore 30 , wherein the bore 30 completely penetrates through the spacer 22 and is closed by a stopper when the contact strip 18 has been guided through, and a second bore is provided next to it which is formed in particular as a blind hole from the outer side of the spacer.
  • the strip 18 can be fixed in this second bore (see FIG. 4 ) to facilitate contact.
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant, wherein the contact strip 18 is guided to the electric connection from the outside.
  • the spacer 22 is disposed between the inner module cover 15 and the glass pane 12 .
  • the cable strip exits between inner 15 and outer module cover 14 and is fixed “from the outside” in the spacer 22 , analogously to the above-described fixing.
  • soldering should be preferably carried out before mounting of the cable lug 44 and strip 18 to the bolt, which leads to the following preferred assembly steps:
  • the projecting strip 18 is thereby pushed back into the bore or folded together and put on the back of the spacer 22 .
